well yea but it is always good to be able to say "i told you so" when you pass the breathalyzer right? even if it is an LT and a CPT

-dan-

yea that would be funny but the inmates would be following me around hoping to somehow get drunk off the scent too bad im not at ft benning anymore i would have some fun with it

I just keep my head up, and try to be cordial. I'll be out of there in 2 semesters when I get my RN, and then on to another can of worms! lol

after earning that little badge, dealing with idiots should be a snap...

Funny ...

I've wondered about this as well.
I make my own 'bay rum' a/s with booze. I usually use it on the weekends, though. When I am out and about after using my home brew, I noticed a few stares. I also noticed my skin was getting really dry.

I still use the home brew, but I go back and rinse most of it off about 15 minutes after applying. I figure if my pores havent closed by that time, they arent going to close. haha.

After a partial rinse, the scent seems to be all spice and no alcohol ... which I find pleasant.

I dont like the booze reek.

Plus, I noticed my skin doesnt dry out.

Hey, it works for me.

that's funny..

The pharmacological term is desensitization.
Basically, the receptors for smell in your nose become over-stimulated or simply accustomed to the fragrance, your brain no longer accepts the messages that your nose is sending to you.

Other people's noses are not yet desensitized and therefore their receptors are sensitive rendering them able to smell what is considered mild for you as strong for them.

PH balances further complicate matters because fragrance can smell different on you compared to someone else who wears it.

I suggest that Joe Co-workers probably stumbled thinking it would hurt your feelings less, if you were accused of smelling like alcohol, a rap you would easily beat, and get the ‘hint’ that you are wearing far too much scent.

Up here in Ontario Canada it gets fierce:
If someone in your workplace suffers a Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. He can have management warn you not to wear scent of any kind, even deoderant, to work.
Scent Sensitivity Program under the auspices of the Ontario Human Rights Commission
originally requested voluntary compliance with a fragrance-free policy, but eventually workplaces like the transit system drivers, were given authority to refuse customers who smelled too strongly of scent.

Get off the bus lady you stank!

believe it or not... a bud of mine claims to have "multiple chemical sensitivity"... apparently it's quite a phenomenon. he is even collecting SSI. i don't think it's from the "MCS" though. the same guy thinks he has been abducted by aliens. he has the "scoop" marks to "prove it". but anyway.. that is hillarious that the canadian government has bowed to such craziness. not that too much scent is offensive, which it sometimes is. this guy runs for the door when i shower (body wash and cologne or a/s afterward)... but when it comes to puff'n, he doesn't say anything about the pesticides that are potentially in the mix..nor does he seem to become "exposed" while smoking cigars (backwoods cigars) .... next thing you know a guy won't even be able to fart in public.
